This one has a good cast, but I give the nod to Elizabeth Patterson as the one who steals every scene she is in. She gets some of the funniest lines and she delivers them perfectly.

She didn’t make that much impression on me here, to be honest - maybe if she’d been given a little more to do.

But she is unforgettable in Intruder in the Dust as a gun-totin’ old lady. Great performance.
